@CourtCamerasBeRolling: "Watch the nobles' faces! They're so CONFUSED. I live for this drama."
@CultureKeeper07: "Unconventional? Yes. Unbelievable? No. Necessary? ABSOLUTELY."
@HeirToMyHeart: "Nnenna really said 'not on my watch.' Respect."
@EyesOnTheBallroom: "This is why she's different. She didn't wait for a second chance. She made it."
Somto did not waste a second.
The moment her hand stretched out further, he caught it gently but firmly, as if afraid she might change her mind again. Without a word, he led her, regal and assured, to the center of the grand ballroom.
Their footsteps echoed faintly as they walked across the polished marble, and a wave of whispers swept through the guests, parting like the sea before them.
The spotlight followed, catching the shimmer of Nnenna's gown and the subtle pride in Somto's stride.
